Great spot that! On the West side of the island there is a 360 degree jet wash which is great to get the salt off.

 

One of the nicest alpine lakes I’ve visited. Some swimming and fishing.

Place to ourselves.

Narrow but well graded forest road.

Naches bound tomorrow.

 

WhAT YEAR AND engine is the black 90?

 

 

Naches trail in WA.

First and only jeep badge of honor trail in the state. Plastic pheasants on the dash for all Defenders. Huzzah!


Some cool rigs. The Yellow Jeep with the Amtrak horn had to be my favorite.

largely unscathed. One tire with a broken valve stem right at the end of the trail and I took out my driver front wheel well liner again.

No pictures of the truly gnarly sections. It is a long (4-5 hours of constant obstacles with trees waiting to take a nibble out of the rig.

All fixed trailside.

Lovely campsite with the whole mountain top to ourselves.

Camp is always better with a hound in the crew.

 

Black Butte. Gravely Range.
Green River lakes. Wind River Range.

That's a heck of a campsite @HappyRabbit Great looking trailer. Love the 18" OEM alloys. A unicorn setup now that those are long distant memory.

 

 

Went off-roading with the Green Oval Guild - the Ohio Land Rover owner's club over the weekend celebrating our 20th anniversary at The Wilds safari park. Years ago the club had access to the park and was allowed to off-road on-site, and sometimes would get close to the animals. Unfortunately after ownership changed, the club lost access to the trails, but we did have our anniversary lunch at the park.

We hit the service roads and trails in the surrounding area, and had a blast. Since we had a lot of beginners, we stopped for a demonstration for off-roading techniques and basic training. Trails were no more than a 3/10. Enough to have some fun, but nothing too extreme. I was worried about the low profile tires on my friend's L320 RRS, but he made it with no issues.

The turnout was great we had multiple L663s (including an OCTA), a Discovery 5, several LR3s, Discovery 2s, LR4s, Classic Defenders, Discovery 1s, an L320 RRS, and an L405 RR.

 

Looks like fun. I remember back in the day your club having access to that Safari Park. Always thought that was a nice gig.
